Answer:

20 men will paint the same wall in 3/4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is:

5 men paint a wall in 3 hours

Let x be the number of men

It is also mentioned that the rate will be same with x men. So we have to put both the rates/proportions equivalent to find the number of men.

So,

$men * hours = men*hours\\5*3 = x*\frac{3}{4}\\15 = \frac{3}{4}x\\x = \frac{4}{3} * 15\\x = 20$

Hence,

20 men will paint the same wall in 3/4 hours.

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width. The area is 744 sqaure yards, find the length and width of the rectangle

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

$\\ \: \: \: \: \pink{ \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} = Length × Width }}} \\ \\$

On Substituting the required values, we get;

$\\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \: or \: - 31 \\ \\$
